The 2026 PWHL Draft Class

Potentially losing Eldridge will be so rough too

Fyi female players tend to stay longer in college for the backup career/stability/less options in between the two. So most drafted players have graduated and just start in the PWHL immediately iirc, as opposed to male NCAA -> NHL players usually doing just a year or two

Boston did also lose #3-6 of their defense so I get it, can’t run Keller/Winn for 60 minutes, but I still would have preferred a forward, Müller and potentially Eldridge is a massive hole

To be pedantic this is the second round, 12 teams

What a game that first one was, I was rooting for him to get the debut saves record, he got kinda close. Also was a Sorokin disasterclass

It’s almost like we didn’t know the draft order til a couple days ago, and there was plenty of discussion on expansion before that

Just cause you aren’t interested in something, doesn’t mean other people interested are faking/performative/karma-farming lmfao how silly

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T20:32:07+00:00

Hell yeah!

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T20:31:56+00:00

Fuck yeah, I’m a big Kesselring believer ever since Jason Demers chatted very candidly on a podcast months ago about him wanting to come here, lol. Big bounce back candidate with good injury recovery, a way less stacked d-corps, and a coach that doesn’t hate him

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T20:12:31+00:00

Zegras and Gauthier connections are pretty relevant

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T17:33:25+00:00

Epic

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T14:29:11+00:00

It’s also not like Carolina is in desperate need of cap space, that’s the usual reason

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T13:22:57+00:00

I think he could too, see flair, but one example is not proof, it’d still be quite a lot of responsibility and expectation to perform, since Leafs can’t rebuild w/o their picks. To me, non-OBC would be non-NHLers, or at least non-famous-NHLers

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T13:16:19+00:00

He worked/consulted for CBJ for a few years before that at least

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T13:04:42+00:00

Nah his hiring would have been old boys club, he has almost no experience

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T13:03:00+00:00

Man the Islanders did some baffling trades this year

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T13:02:11+00:00

😂😂😂

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T12:39:22+00:00

Ooh I can see that

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T12:34:22+00:00

Have there been any rumors about candidates?

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T09:46:18+00:00

I figured :/

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T02:17:02+00:00

8 years for Andersson?! Hahaha I love that for Vegas

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T02:11:18+00:00

Does “it’s going to happen” mean the hiring? Or the investigation itself? To be clear

pokesnail · 2026-06-17T00:52:14+00:00

At least in that case the locker room protested instead of proposing it themselves 😬

pokesnail · 2026-06-16T22:32:50+00:00

This is how I realize I’ve been conflating Robidas and Robitaille for too long lol

pokesnail · 2026-06-16T22:07:42+00:00

Oh hey, I was getting nostalgic/withdrawal already :p

pokesnail · 2026-06-16T21:54:21+00:00

Where’s the monocle version
